Macrame has been a popular way to decorate, bringing texture and warmth into a home with knots that can be
put together in unique ways in order to create one-of-a-kind wall hangings, plant holders, and more.

A good variety in texture and design can result from the arrangement of just a few knots. The two basic knots
used in macramé are the half knot and the half hitch. Other macramé knots are mostly derived from these two. The flat
knot consists of two half knots (one regular, one reverse) and can be used as is or with a space left in between to
produce the butterfly effect. With slight variations, it makes the inside out square knot and alternating square knot.
Cording is the other most used knot made up of rows of double half hitches.
